''Athena enters the kitchens and sees the still form of Flugworthy lying near a tray of scones with one next to his now-opened paw. Several hares, including the head cook surround him. At the appearance of Athena, the head cook turns to the badgerwife'' "What happened here?"

The head cook blinks several times and bites her lip "I'm not sure, ma'rm. We were all starting to cook the jolly old morning scoff when I walk by a tray of scones I left to cool. I saw him lying there next to them with one in his paw."

''Athena walks over to where several hares surround Flugworthy. Two or three hares move out of her way to allow her to view the young hare. Athena's eyes scan over him for a minute before here eyes widen at the realization of what happened. She yells at the top of her lungs in a strong voice'' "EVERYBEAST, STOP WHERE YOU ARE!"

Every hare freezes where they stand, not daring to disobey a command given from Athena in the tone she spoke to them in

Athena addresses every hare in the kitchens "I want everybeast to gather in the dining hall. Forget about breakfast for now. This is an extremely important message I must deliver to you all."

''Shortly after the scene in the kitchens, every hare on the mountain is gathered in the dining hall with Athena at the head of the hall with her staff in one paw. She speaks in a loud voice that is solemn, but calm'' "Now I'm sure every one of you has heard about young Flugworthy having fallen unconscious today after eating a scone today while breakfast was being prepared. Well, he was taken to the sickbay, where he died several minutes ago. I have checked the food supplies and discovered that the flour was opened just a bit. That, along with the ferret I saw this morning, is more than enough proof that vermin have entered Salamandastron."

''Murmurs break out amongst the hares. The younger hares cast shocked looks at Athena while the older hares talk in low voices to the hare beside them''

''Athena raises a paw to silence them. The congregation falls silent'' "This means that the hares required for guard duty will be doubled and will be posted at every possible entrance high or low in the mountain. I will not risk sending out a patrol to discover the whereabouts of the vermin, lest they be slain by the vermin in an ambush. All we will do now is wait and be as prepared as we possibly can."
